Subtle astringency and a fragrance reminiscent of young Fuji apples. A superbly balanced dry sake.

｛ Master brewer's comments ｝

This is called "karakuchi", which means "dry", but there is also a pleasant sweetness to this sake. It is subtly fragrant, thanks to yeast number 9, and comes off as a light, dry, easy-drinking sake. I think we've struck the right balance with this one.
